currently residing at the NICU at our hospital. He's doing very well so
far and I am trying my best to give him as much breast milk as
possible. He is currently getting food through a tube and I am...

breastfeeding myths by
Shell
A few years ago the group put together a list of breastfeeding myths. I
have them but they're in bad shape. Would anyone object if I posted them to
the group in attachment format?

Not spam, I swear... by
Amy
Y'all have known me long enough to know I'm not spamming for this
website. I'm genuinely curious.
Before I drop $47, has anyone tried this method:

I don't want to spend the money if it isn't worth it. She *says* that
it's not an "abandon your baby to cry it out"...

ot - sleeping on tummy - is it ever safe? by
teapot
The Moo boy is nearly 7 months now and shows no sign of rolling. I
had read somewhere that when they can roll they are safe to put on
their tummys to sleep. If I put him down on his tummy he is more
likely to settle than if I put him on his back so I want to be able to
do this if it's safe.

Kathy
Hi,
I apologize in advance to those of you who will say "Gee...what a
problem...your baby sleeps for eight hours straight. Try having the
opposite problem!". Actually, I know what that's like too...DD#1 seemed
to only sleep for 15 minutes at a time for the first several months of
her...

Safety of Vitamin D drops? by
[email protected]
Our pediatrician recommended giving Vitamin D drops to our newborn to
supplement breastfeeding.
Being skeptical of artifical supplementation, I researched the need for
the drops and found that it is due to the likely lack of sunlight that
our baby will receive. She is a slightly dark-skinned...

anyone else have a very large breastfed kid? by
Dagny
Hm, according to the CDC chart, Meg is -- hovering slightly above. She was
born at 9lbs3, 22". She's now just a few ounces shy of 16 pounds and I
expect her to hit 16 by 3 months (just a few days away). I think she's 26
inches by now; I measured her maybe 10 days ago at 25.5"

New Baby Spoon by
[email protected]
Flowspoon is a great new baby spoon that is closed on one end with a
hole. It sounds strange, but it works like magic! Because the food is
being sucked out, it goes down without a mess, instead of squishing
out of the baby's mouth. I got a free sample from a friend who is
selling them on...

Epidurals and bfing by
[email protected]
Found this on the BBC world service website this morning.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6161727.stm
(What really struck me was the comment that 93% of the women in the
study started out breastfeeding, and at 6 months over 50% were still
nursing! American women should do so well!)

Best advise for bf after c-section by
Irish Marie
A friend of mine has just had a baby girl today by c-section (I am so upset
for her, they sectioned her because they thought the baby was too big, it
turns out she was 8lb 10ozs, her last baby was 10lb 2oz so I reckon this was
unnecessary!)
Anyway, before she had the baby she was intending on bf so...

OT - when do they understand 'No'? by
teapot
Or should it be when do they stop doing whatever they are not supposed
to do when you say 'No'?
I am consistent about my 'No's'. Nn slapping the cat, no pulling
cables and putting them in your mouth, no playing with plugs but he
takes very little notice of me.
